«Carmen Martín Gaite y el collage: un diario en libertad» exhibition

A unique exhibition at Matadero Madrid reveals the writer Carmen Martín Gaite's most visual and free-spirited side through her collages created in New York.

About this event

Until 15 September 2025, Casa del Lector is organising an exhibition that rediscovers Carmen Martín Gaite from an unusual angle: collage. This exhibition brings together a collection of works made by the author during her stay in New York at the beginning of the 1980s, a period marked by artistic experimentation and creative freedom. The collages, conceived almost as a personal diary, combine images, words and colours to capture impressions, emotions and everyday scenes through a profoundly intimate gaze. In addition to exploring this visual facet of the author, the exhibition is complemented by parallel activities such as talks, workshops and guided tours, offering a space for reflection on the work of one of the most influential figures in 20th-century Spanish literature. Admission is free and the visit promises to be both revealing and inspiring.
